Supporters of Hungarian Government Revving Up For Show of Strength

As a response to mass protests showing increasing dissatisfaction with the Hungarian government, supporters of Viktor Orban’s administration are preparing to counter, holding rallies.

The common driver behind the events is a show of solidarity with the government and the prime minister, who has been widely criticized internationally for policies and economic measures.

The event set to attract the biggest crowd is a “peace march” on Jan 21 organized by journalists, intellectuals and businessmen who have long supported Mr. Orban’s Fidesz party before and after he was elected to office in 2010.
